If you have a cfselect command that builds its options list from a getter function, how do you write it?

cfselect name="FooID" query="scope.functionname.getFoo()" Display="FooName" value="FooID" />

Or maybe, as someone said in a previous post, I should build the options list in a cfsavecontent and therefore it will be cached.

    <cfset myQuery = scope.functionname.getFoo()>
    <cfselect name="FooID" query="myQuery" Display="FooName" value="FooID" />
    

    Query attribute = Name of query to populate drop-down list.

    And yes, if the query doesn’t change, and HTML is the only output you need, it’s a good idea to cache the generated HTML.
